Thank you for this video. I recently purchased a KO cl350 and it seemed to run decently well when I bought it. I rode it a few times and then decided to change the oil. After changing the oil I went out for a small ride and the top end seized up. I could not think of one thing that I could have possibly done during the oil change to kill my new bike. As of today I now have the motor out of the bike and some parts ordered that I know I will need. The information I gathered from this video is going to definitely help me and my bike on our path to recovery. -Nate

For someone who said you weren't gonna go to crazy on the motor.. looks like you went crazy to me. Great work. 👍

[@aussiefarmer8741]

You are a very thorough mechanic cody. I wish you were my neighbor , I could learn a lot.

[@TadpolCreative]

thankful someone this knowledgeable about motorcycles and content creation exists, keep it up

[@mikeeger7581]

I like these type videos way better than your collaboration stuff,, sorry,, but I’m glad you are back

[@MizMods]

Hey Cody, another great video. I love watching your videos while contemplating what to fix next on my on my 81' KZ750. I love old bikes so a lot of this is great to see. You're carb adjustment videos have been a life saver. I'll have to say adjusting four carbs is much more annoying than adjusting two. 😅 Stay safe out there. ✌

That was a great video!

[@jasonm6853]

Nice video. Do you have a step by step rebuild video in the members group?

[@steveo5075]

Where did you get a camshaft from and who did the machining to install needle bearings in the head?

[@xcentric.ind.]

Hey Cody. Love this series. I just rebuilt a CB350 motor and cant figure out why the kickstart spring isnt returning the lever. Any input would be great, thank you sir.

Do you have this vid at normal speed anywhere for viewing?

You have a good old Motorcycle there and I’m sure you’ve been inside more motorcycle engines than I have but I’m not all Green myself at 57 years of age I’ve owned and ran 5 or 6 Honda’s so far for the most part IMO overall Honda engineering has always been pretty decent and I like putting their bikes back to stock with as much O.E.M I can find which I’ve generally found is obtainable ,even on ones that are over 50 years old and yes I do have a 1964 Honda ! Now I have found on other Japanese motors that over the years things like aftermarket head Gasket materials and construction can be better than stock more specifically on Kawasaki 2 stroke personal Watercraft engines from the early 1990s that coincidently all personal Watercraft builders were in a race of competition to build the fastest machine and many were hasty about boring and Stroking their older engines IMO without enough lengthy testing so they often had issues due to not re-engineering some parts to accommodate the higher performance and heat many of which were associated to gaskets and seals especially rubber type so the independent Aftermarket companies did step in and excell in that department because many of them got involved with racing and Sponsorships many of them were West Coast companies as that’s where most of the bigger races and competitions took place as well BTW I have owned Yamaha and Kawasaki motorcycles as well and in general I performed all of my own mechanical and maintenance myself except for warranty work of course

[@TheMotorcycleMD]

They are good and WERE very reliable when new!

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

I'm just loving this project man! It's gonna be awesome. Can I ask if I put an LED headlight on my 96 Magna, will it put more wear/tear on my reg/rec? It's a DB Electrial that is about 16 months old or so. Ride safe!

[@123rusty4]

Trick. be for you take a old motor apart .... have it sand blasted .

[@mikeeger7581]

I’m sorry you have all those issues on your bike I guess I got lucky because I have a 1979 cm 400 A Hondamatic and it has 5646 original miles on it and I’m riding it a lot it runs and rides great I’m the third owner and I keep it covered but it does stay outside. Yet I have no issues with it,, I did have to dump a bunch of money into it to get it road ready but other than and oil change and carb clean and a ton of other stuff but no motor work. I guess I got lucky. So so far ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
